The Trump Administration is Taking the Right Approach to Crypto Enforcement.
This week, the DOJ issued a memo to halt “regulation by prosecution,” stating:
“We are going to end the regulatory weaponization against digital assets.”

For years, crypto enforcement in the U.S. has been chaotic, overreaching — and arguably unconstitutional. Innovators were criminalized while real fraudsters got a pass. The Biden Administration tried to crush the industry and succeeded in driving it offshore. Just look at exchanges: the largest don’t even operate here anymore.
Meanwhile, former SEC Chair Gary Gensler was meeting with Sam Bankman-Fried just weeks before the FTX collapse — and still missed the biggest financial fraud of our generation.
Now, under new leadership:
✅ DOJ will focus on real crime — fraud, theft, terrorism
✅ CFTC Acting Chair @CarolineDPham has directed her agency to prioritize fraud over technical violations
✅ Enforcement is finally being brought into balance
I spotlighted this shift last year when I interviewed Chair Pham — crypto made up 50% of CFTC enforcement actions despite representing just a fraction of the markets it oversees.

This reset is good for investors. Good for users. And long overdue.
President Trump’s regulators are getting it right.
